WeBe Bluetooth Mouse for iPhone, iPad & iPod touch

WeBe, a computer mouse app for the iPhone or the iPod touch, lets you have all the functions of a normal Bluetooth mouse and keyboard in your pocket! The screen of the iPhone or iPod touch serves as a trackpad – slide with three fingers to invoke the keyboard (or use the buttons)!

Download the free WeBe Server software from this site for Windows or Mac OS X. Then, start both the WeBe Server and the Webe App on your iPhone/iPad or iPod touch and you can start using your mouse!

Please go under “Settings/Personal Hotspot/”, then enable your Personal Hotspot and follow the instructions there to connect using USB (last section).

To connect using USB
1. Plug iPhone into your computer
2. Choose iPhone from the list of network services in your settings

If you manage this, your status bar turns blue. Start the WeBe Server on your computer and start the WeBe Bluetooth Mouse App on your iPhone.
The App will find your computer. You can choose now your computer from the list. Done!

hey i really need some help ive been trying to use webe++ with my pc for a week now i love how simple all set up features are compared to many i have tried before. my issue is once connected to my pc i get to the blue mouse pad screen on iphone 4s but once i go to control the mouse it moves on the computer maybe an inch an an error occurs on the phone saying to check network configuration. im very frustrated app works great with ps3 but i like to connect my pc to the television and i was hoping to make this my go to remote app but ive done all the research i can bare to do and desperately need some help.

BTW i am using a pc windows 7 i have bonjour i have java i have turned my firewall completely off during connection and im attempting to connect over server both using the same network and have made both devices forget and reconnect to networks restarting devices in between. i have re-installed webe++. and still recieve the same error after connecting and attempting to use mouse pad.

Hi Quek
If the message “registering” does not go away, it means that something is blocking it. It coul be a firewall (Windows Firewall), Anti-Virus software or something else. You could try the WeBe Server on another machine, to make sure that this is the problem.
If you installed Bonjour and Java and after your start the WeBe Server there comes no error-message popup, you have done everything right.
So please check if something is blocking your server.

Hey Jonathan
Did you just write a one-star review on the App Store for our App? I mean the guy named juju’96 wrote “Can you guys make is discoverable for ps3. The cydia version is better than this.”
This will never be possible since Apple does NOT allow it… we cannot use our own BT stack, we must use Apple’s and that one is restricted.
Also, we never mentioned in the description, that this version (App Store) of WeBe Bluetooth Mouse works with PS3… so what’s the matter?

I ask you guys (all of you just reading this message), please read before you download/buy any Apps, otherwise it’s just sad for all and disappointing for me. We invested so much time in developing such an amazing app and then there is a one-star review asking for something impossible and telling that the Cydia version is better… OK, then give 5 stars for the Cydia version man! I mean, c’mon…

Also you would HELP us tremendously writing a POSITIVE review with positive/constructive critics since we get motivated to invest more time in this product.

Hello Aldo
Thanks for your message. You are not using WeBe Bluetooth Mouse, but WeBe++, right? because otherwise you won’t be able to use your iPhone as Mouse for your iPad.
Or are you trying to use WeBe Bluetooth Mouse? Please clarify, thanks.

For point 1 & 2 => please write me an email at info@weblooks.ch and I can assist you better for WeBe++. This shouldn’t be such a pain like you described.

For point 3 => This error was fixed in the current version 1.4 of WeBe Bluetooth Mouse.

Hi, I have an iPod version 6.1
-I’ve installed the WeBe Server for Windows on my PC.
-My I iPod is Bluetooth tethered to my PC
-When I start the WeBe server there are no options. there is a “Ready for connections” in the bottom right with a yellow dot.
-When I open WeBe app and hit the blinking “Start WeBe” it indicates: “Waiting for WeBe servers…” and does not connect.

You say your iPod is Bluetooth Tethered to your PC. Is the status bar of your iPod blue?

Also when you started the WeBe Server on your PC, make sure the Windows firewall is not blocking it! I think this could be the problem!

Did you try it already with WiFi? Or an adHoc connection between your PC and your iPod? These are additional possibilities to track down the problem. If one of the these possibilities work for you, we can dig more into your problem, then it might be a Tethering problem.

Hello Rudi. Which one are you trying to download, for Mac 10.5 or 10.6 and higher? I can’t confirm your experience since the download is working with me here perfectly. Please try to open this page here with another browser, this can help maybe.
Or, if nothing else works, write me an e-mail and I’ll send it to you directly (please tell me which version you need): gabe(at)iosapplove.com

Hi Gabe,
it was only he window of the server software. there is nothing to see (empty window) but the program works. I can use the ipad mini as an mouse for the mac air but i´m not not abel to use a right mouse button or to hold the button pressed and move for moving a window or change its sice. many there is a trick to do this?

by the way, i tried do write you this message with the safari browser, it didnt work! An errormessage occured ERROR: Wrong CAPTCHA

Hey Rudi
Cool, nice to hear it’s working. Did you read the instructions in the App, telling you how to make right-click, etc.? It’s actually really easy to do, maybe you have to practice a bit, but if you can connect to your computer/mac, the right click gesture and everything else must work, too.

Hello Yohanne
Does this error still exist? Which browser are you using to navigate to this page? If you need the server, please write me an e-mail: gabe@iosapplove.com and tell me which version you need, thank you!

Hello Rudi. I fixed that problem for Safari. I can download it perfectly. Please try to delete your browser cache or try to download it with a different browser. If this does not work, I will send it by e-mail to you, no problem.

I’m able to pair my Windows 8 laptop and iPhone via bluetooth. I’m also able to launch the WeBe server on the PC and open the iPhone app. With both open, I can see the server on my iPhone 4S, but when I touch the iPhone screen to select it, it highlights but does not allow me to control the PC.

I’ve installed Java, Bonjour for Windows and the Webe Server on the PC and have the WeBe App on my iPhone.

Hi Chris
Yes, many ideas 🙂 First things first, are you talking about the Cydia or the App Store version? I have never heard of your problem, seems really strange to me. I mean if your iPhone (with WeBe running) is finding your Computer and listing it, I don’t think you have a connection problem, because that’s a proof that Bonjour & Java are working. Maybe it could be a Windows 8 problem or the firewall. Please, also try this: once you touch the iPhone screen to select it and it highlights, WAIT for two minutes and see what happens – don’t touch again, touch only one time and wait. Just curious to see what happens after two minutes.

I Have Installed WEBE on my Iphone 4, i also tried installing the WeBeServer_v1.3.exe on my windows PC having windows 7, there is no icon in program list or on desktop. the phone software keeps showing “Waiting for WeBe servers.
Bluetooth is on on both the systems and is connected.
Could you please suggest some solution

Hello Vinay
Thanks for your message. Well, you don’t have to “install” the WeBe Server, it’s just an application that runs right away after you double-click it. If you download the WeBe Server v1.3, unzip it for example on your desktop, then double-click that icon and WeBe Server is running (maybe your Windows firewall will come up warning you, just make an exception for WeBe and you’re fine). Then, please tell me, how are you connected with your Computer? You say it’s a Bluetooth connection, right? But are you using tethering for this connection? Are you using your iPhone as a Hotspot? If the answer is yes (and the status bar of your iPhone is blue!), you should now be able to see your computer on the list in the WeBe App.
Regards

I downloaded the free version to my iPhone and it inexplicably charge me two dollars without any Authorization no password nothing. Hey it’s completely useless to me because it doesn’t work with my PS3. How is it that I was charged without any authorization for something that I didn’t buy?

Scott! You donwloaded it from a hacker’s repository!!! Our WeBe++ is not free, it’s available on Cydia store for $5. There is NO free version of WeBe. Also the App Store version is $2 and the fact that you downloaded a free version, tells me you donwloaded it from non-official repository! Please tell us where you downloaded it so that we can report!
Thank you

Hello Ranieri
You mean that it works with WiFi connection, but NOT with Bluetooth, right? Try to put your iPhone into Tethering mode (hotspot) and connect it with your PC. Then it should recognize.
Thanks

Hello Nathan
You need to be more specific, please. Are you trying to connect via Bluetooth, WiFi, AdHoc? I think that for you the AdHoc solution would be the best. Please try to set up an AdHoc connection between your PC and your iPod – then start the WeBe Bluetooth Mouse on your iPod and the WeBe Server on your PC (or Mac).
Regards

Hy, I have a iPad 2 and want to connect it to my MacBook via Bluetooth. How is this possible? I can’t get my mac connect to my ipad. And also can’t get Webe to connect over Bluetooth. Any help is appreciated.

Does your iPad 2 have Tethering (hotspot)? Otherwise it’s only possible through WiFi or adHoc connection (you don’t need a router for that). OR you download the Cydia version, WeBe++ … then you can use it easily via Bluetooth.

Hey I have webe++ is there any way to have a command button or control or option?? Also if you could stream audio to your iPhone from your Mac over Bluetooth that would be awesome. It would be like a tv remote with headphones.

Hi GAbe,
I instaalled Webe++ on my iphone to control my ipad.
It works fine. But when ever i quit Webe++ Switch to another app or disconnect it on the Ipad it won’t connect another time. Only Solution is rebooting the iphone and thna it works fine again. Are you familiar with this issue and is there a solution?
Kind Regards
Cord

Great app.
I only wish I could use ctrl, Alt and suchlike keys, or program such key sequences into some sotr of soft keys to swithc apps on the PC, copy/paste using Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V and suchlike.
Any hope of that?

i downloaded the webe app from app store with the thought that i could control my ps3. As i read above i have to jailbreak my iphone 5 and then download webe++ to control my Ps3. It can not be done due to several reasons. When reading for the app it was not clear that it is strictly for pc/mac devices. Is there anything that we can be do about it? Will there be a future update with Bluetooth HID for legitimate ios users??

Hello Dan
It could be a bad BT connection. Did you already download the latest WeBe Server version from this site? Are there other devices connecting via BT (mouse, headphone, etc.)? Did you try to pair WeBe and the Server via WiFi? How is the performance there?
Thanks

OK, no problem. There is another way to find out if it’s a Bluetooth problem or not. Since the Hotspot works also through an USB Cable, you can try this: make your iPhone a hotspot (former called “tethering”) and connect it with your PC with the USB cable only! If the status bar of your iPhone turns blue (connection established) you can start both the WeBe Server on your Windows machine and the WeBe App on your iPhone.
Please let me know…

Unable to pair bluetooth between Mac Mini (OS 10.8.4) with iPhone 4S. I get the codes but then when I try to select the mac on my iPhone, it says it’s not supported & only option is to choose “forget device”. I have been on apple forms and apparently bluetooth is now restricted so it is not allowed to use it for passing files but only for audio connections (or similar). So, my question is, (1) do you have people successfully using webe bluetooth mouse in my configuration? And, (2) how, if so?

Hi Donal
Like mentioned already a few times on this site, you need to have the Cydia version called WeBe++ to pair your iPhone with your Mac Mini the way like you said… if you have the App Store version called WeBe Bluetooth Mouse, you have to make your iPhone a hotspot (former called “tethering”) and THEN pair your iPhone with your Mac Mini (so the Mac Mini “would” use the internet connection of your iPhone over Bluetooth). This way you can pair your iPhone with your Mac Mini since it’s not restricted (Bluetooth) for internet connection… then you can start the WeBe Server on your Mac Mini and the App on your iPhone => they will find each other since they are already paired through Bluetooth 🙂
Thanks for your patience, good luck!
Gabe

trying to use webe app not webe++ with my pc over wifi, my issue is once connected to my pc i get to the blue mouse pad screen on iphone 4s but once i go to control the mouse it moves on the computer maybe an inch an an error occurs on the phone saying to check network configuration.

Hi,
please provide a free light version for testing the generel functionality (especially Bluetooth connection). Would be enough, if e.g. only mouse buttons work in that light version. If this works, I will pay for upgrade to full version. Right now most of the user seems not get it working (according to feedback in Appstore) and I am not willing to pay for something which probably doesn’t work at all for me.
Thanks!

Hi Mike!
What do you mean by “every time I start up my comp the server is gone”… you mean really deleted from your Computer? Maybe your anti-virus software or anything else, but it has nothing to do with WeBe… the right-click button works when you tap on the screen with two fingers at the same time!
thanks

Hello,
I have the app downloaded on the iphone and also have the server running on my PC. the server on the PC is running saying ready for connection. I have the phone and the PC joined via bluetooth and verify there connected. when I launch the app on the iPhone it say waiting for the WeBe server and never does anything else. I have an iPhone5 dell laptop running WIN7

I am trying to use the bluetooth mouse feature to connect my mac to my iphone 5. i connected both the phone and the computer and the blue personal hotspot bar appears on my phone. the server is installed on my mac and i had the mouse working for a few days.

now however, when i turn both on and start the app to try and connect even though devices are paired and discoverable no available server is displayed

Must be something you forgot. Since it has already worked at the beginning, I suggest going through all setup steps again. But chances are high that it will work again once you have everything set up correctly. Thanks

Currently the Cydia version (WeBe++) does not work with the WeBe Server. If you have the Cydia version, you don’t need any server. Just start up WeBe++ on your iPhone and pair it with your PC as a Bluetooth Mouse. Thanks

I must use Bluetooth (not wifi). My computer’s Bluetooth software (Toshiba Bluetooth Stack for Windows) identifies my iPhone as a PAN device. My iPhone does not permit PAN or “tethering”. Is there a work around?

Hi. I just purchased Webe to use a bluetooth mouse. I cannot find any clear instructions on how to connect my iPhone and MacBook Pro. I really can only use it as bluetooth because I am on a public network. Please help. I hope I didn’t waste $2. Please leave clear step by step instructions of how to connect.

You can use your iPhone as a hotspot via Bluetooth/Cable/Wifi… and then connect your MacBook Pro (status bar of your iPhone turns blue!). If you manage this, you can start the WeBe Bluetooth Mouse App on your iPhone and the WeBe Server on your MacBook Pro and they will find each other! Thanks

2 hours trying to make it work and nothing, I have windows 7 and an Iphone 5 could you please e-mail me the instructions.
The Iphone recognized my computer but when I tap the server in my iphone nothing happens
Regards

Hello Marco
Thank you for your message. We need more information on how you are trying it. Over WiFi or Bluetooth(Tethering/Hotspot)? Are you in a local network or somewhere in a public network? Please send us more information since WeBe works really well. It must be something in your network. Maybe firewall, Anti-Virus blocking some ports…?
Thanks

Hi, im very interested about making this app works, I need so much my ipad as a bluetooth mouse!, first, I got a pc OS win xp, the server installs well, I also bought webe from appstore, then here is the problem, I guess, I have ipad 2 iOS 7, wifi (not 3G)so as I understand, it can’t be tethered, because its only wifi, so it is not possible? I need help because the webe app does not recognize or shows any server, and my win xp webe server says, “ready for connection”, but i guess it is because they must be paired first, and I cant! Please help..

Ok, thanks for the answer, but im having problems, mine is desktop computer so it does not have wireless card or usb wifi modem, and i just tried but seems to fail because my only local area network is the ethernet, i know i am missing lot of knowledge about networking, but my question is if I have to buy the wireless card or modem?, and I notice in the network connections a personal area network by the service of bluetooth, and seems disconnected can I do the Adhoc process with that connection? I just can set up wiressly with bluetooth

i am having trouble connecting my webe++ to my pc. it actually connects and as soon as i touch it the message “error encountered during session! check your networking configuration.” why is it doing this. i also try turning off my bluetooth but every time i start up webe++ the bluetooth automatically comes back on. please help me out. its really stressing me out. thank you

error encountered during session tells me that you’re trying to use WeBe++ with WeBe Server… you don’t need them! WeBe++ works without any additional software… try to pair your iPhone as if it were a real BT mouse. Good luck 🙂

Hello, i’ve just bought webe++ this week and it works great installed in my iphone 4s and paired with my ipad 2 via Bluetooth. My problem is when i try to pair it via BT with my laptop windows 7, it detects the device but it looks that doesn’t identify BT services available, missing drivers? Do i have to install any software in my Laptop? Can i not paired it just via bluettoth without installing webe server?

Well I bought this app frm App Store hoping to work for ps3 after hours of trying and researching found out that I gotten the wrong app. Gabe will this be compatible with ps3 in near future you know with like updates ?

Hi,
I’ve got Windows 8 on my bluetooth enabled laptop. I’ve downloaded the webe server and when I start it I get the small window with a comment saying “WeBe server disconnected”. I can’t see anything I can do to ‘connect’ it.

I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.2 and a Macbook Air running OS X 10.8.5. I have downloaded the WeBe server for mac and then opens and says it is running and waiting for connection. I then open the app on my iPhone and and choose the Start WeBe option that goes to the Available Server screen and it sees my Macbook Air.

They are both connected to a 3G dongle via Wi-Fi, however if I select my MacBook Air from the found servers on my iPhone it does nothing. The only way I can get it to work is if I turn my Personal Hotspot on, on my iPhone and then tell my Macbook to connect to that network.

This isn’t how I saw the app working from reading the description, I thought it would work when they are connected to my 3G dongle as the app on the iPhone even sees the server running on my Macbook.

Am I doing something wrong or will it only work using Personal Hotspot?

Hi Guys,
Firstly great app. I got it working in a couple of minutes via WiFi (both iPad and laptop connected to a wireless router)
The thing is I want to have it working over Bluetooth so my laptop and iPad can hopefully use it’s WiFi for internet connection. I have a mobile WiFi hotspot dongle for the internet and a separate wireless router for other accessories. And when both iPad and Laptop are connected to it via WiFi the setup doesn’t work. Maybe via the WiFi dongle is still a runner. But might be a bit complicated for myself to setup. I hope you can help. It’s a pain haing to switch both devices to my router before being able to make use of the app.. Thanks in advance Éirin
Oh yes it’s the WeBe WLAN – Bluetooth – USB app.. Along with WeBeServer v1.3

I have not seen how this app actually works. It is always trying to connect to server but never does. I don’t know how I can get my money back for this app but if possible I would like that very much. I tried deleting app and re-downloading, I have tried resetting all devices that would connect and still nothing. Please help!

Hi! Ive got the Webe++ cydia version, paid 5 dollar, it works with Bluetooth, but i cant get it to work with your server Ive downloaded on this sight for win 7.
It is highlighted om my iphone 4, but when i try to connect it stops?
Could you help me out here?

I have BTC Mouse & Keyboard running on ipad and WeBe++ on iPhone. iPad sees the iPhone in bluetooth devices, WeBe++ runs and operates BTStack (the icon in status bar indicates it is working).
I can enter the pairing PIN on WeBe++ but the iPad says “Connection Unsuccessful”! The device is on and in range…

on non jailbroken webe app, if you manually set the ip address of your bluetooth adapter it will most likely find the server on the idevice but not connect, i suggest you verify that your bluetooth adapter says it has a network and that the ip address is set to automatic.

I broke a few fingers on my left hand and find it much easier to type on an iphone keyboard than a full size one. I’m using your app to type this through my PC now – so thank you! I have a few issues, questions and comments:

I am running Windows 7 and iPhone 5 w ios7 tethered through USB.

1) Mouse clicks often take 2 or 3 tries to go through. Sometimes more!
2) The client app and server frequently stop talking to each other. I am constantly restarting
3) Can the app run in the background? Anytime I leave the app and come back, am disconnected from the server. The server still shows “connected”. If I tap on the server to connect, the client app locks up. Restart both and I am back in.
4) An optional staging area for text would be great. Immediate keystrokes work for small tasks but when composing emails, it would be nice to have use of the iphone short cuts, autocorrects and voice to text.
5) I am using WeBe on my work PC, which doesnt have wireless or bluetooth. How do I tell windows not to use my phone for internet?
6) When I type lowercase “i” followed by a space, it disappears. I have to manually capitalize I to keep it from disappearing. Behavior is erratic. on the line below I typed “i” space 10 times:
i i

I just paid & downloaded WeBe from Apple App Store. I tried to connect with PS3, but no luck. Can you please guide me how I can pair with PS3 with latest OS. I am using IPhone 4S & ipad 2 (WIFI) with IOS 7.0.4.

I bought “WeBe Bluetooth Mouse” from Apple store and installed it to airMac. But blue screen like mouse and WeBe (WLAN-Bluetooh- USB” indicated and Start WeBe. I clicked > and “Waiting for WeBe servers…” is shown, then nothing happened. I used airMac in WiHi area in my house. Please let me know how to install WeBe Mouse in my airMac.

Hello, i bought the jailbreak version, but now my device is no longer jailbroken. Is there any credit given for thise who purchased the jailbroken version in order to buy the AppStore version? A great product, so if the answer is NO, i will buy it again ! I love you guys, whoever you are. You did a good job with the jailbreak version- is it the same as the AppStore version? Thank you!

Just boght webe today to use with iphone 5 and Windows 8.
Blutooth is paired and connected – both phone and windows state that connection for bluettoth is ok.
Webe on PC is launvhed and “waiting for connection”
On the phone server could not be found. It found it over wifi but still could not connect. And I dont want to use wifi but Bluetooth
What could be problem and what should I do?

Hi,
app seems great! Is it possible to use WeeBee in the following way?
Use iPhone as a mouse for iPad; some Special iPad apps Need a mouse, and I’d like to use the iPhone as a mouse.
What’s, by the way, WeeBee++?
Thanks

Please you guys need to really define what is very very soon means. It’s like over two month since you said working on release very soon. Give us a real time line when it will be release on the new update please.

good program, better than the others I have tried. One thing to make it better would be to add the full keyboard access. I ran across this when I need to press escape to leave a full screen mode. The keyboard available doesn’t have the escape key. I s there any change of this type of upgrade?

I cant pair my Windows 10 laptop and iPhone via bluetooth. When I try to run server i get a popup “please make sure Apples Bonjour is installed and running on your computer”
Apples Bonjour is installed and running on my computer. I tried to download Apples Bonjour, in order to reinstall it from the link in the website but it is not opperating. Pls tell me what to do.Thanks
